Will an american Xbox work here

wet-paint

Hey folks,
I'm lookign at buying an Xbox, and I'm off to America on wednesday, so I'm thinking of picking up a bargain over there.
Will the american console work over here, and will games that I buy here play on an american console?
Are there any issues at all I need to watch out for?

Xboxs never got the price drop in america, they arent that much cheaper over there certainly not worth the hassle of bringing it home! Im not sure about the Power supply unit, i'd imagine it works with both.

If your using a HDTV it will work fine.

Games are mostly region locked, so games bought here are not likely to work with it.

You might struggle with your warranty too, as for xboxs thats a big kick in the balls!

If you plan on using it back here you'll need to buy either a step down converter or else a UK/Ire power supply for it. You won't really save that much after buying either of the above.

That's grand so, cheers. Off to Pixmania then I guess. I've found it there for €279, have any of ye found them cheaper anywhere else, for the premium package?

Smyths or xtra-vision usually have good package deals in store.
